In light of The Situation happening right now in the USA, I highly recommend retreating from social media as much as possible and immersing in real life to clean out the gunk of social media type activism

Try as best as you can to track down some old retired folks who have been doing the activism thing for decades. And just old retired folks who care about anything, anything at all.

This crap with labeling the generations and talking like "boomers" are this way and "gen Z" is that way, it's silly to the point of being dangerous.

Younger generations in USA kind of reject the whole thing about respecting and valuing your elders but the truth is, all different kinds of cultures have these values and they're right. Elders have more knowledge and understanding than you can ever find written down anywhere.

And they WANT and NEED young people to connect with them. Elders are suffering more from our society of isolation than anybody else. And they are energized and invigorated by having young people to share their knowledge, information, and stories with.

So often I have been in a room of people majority over 65, wondering where all the "politically aware" gen Z are. And the answer is, they're on social media, arguing with strangers and stressing themselves out, while the "boomers" are getting shit done.

Social media isolates young activists from the most experienced and knowledgeable of all. And it's a dangerous trap for people of all ages who feel lonely and afraid. Either radicalizing them into hateful ideology and cult-style groups, or convincing them of apathy and pointlessness.

go outside, find the elders that know everything, get shit done. This is my advice

i see a lot of neurodivergent people talk about how they can't handle bright white overhead lighting at home, so their preference is to have warm/yellow bulbs in lamps as the main source of household lighting, often with colouful neon lights/fairylights/candles as other secondary lighting sources. I feel like this is actually more common than we think but maybe there are some insane people who love or at least are indifferent to bright white overhead lighting. so poll time.

What is your main indoor lighting preference at home?

Bright white overhead lighting

Warm/yellow overhead lighting

Overhead lighting OFF and warm/yellow lamp ON

A mixture of the above (explain in the tags)

I am a cave gremlin and my preference is to have no lights on at home

if you say bright white overhead lighting is your main lighting preference please tell me why

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I'm autistic but I'm more sensitive to sound and touch, not light. I prefer bright cold white lighting because I like to be able to fucking see. Warm lighting makes me nervous because it's harder to clearly see things and it softens their colours.

I can handle it in rooms if I have a bright lamp to see what I'm actually doing though.

[teaboot]

See I’m autistic and I find it *harder* for navigate im bright white spaces? Everything stands out so sharply and it looks so cluttered that it’s overwhelming, and the harshness of it gives me a headache and I get all anxious which makes things MORE difficult- it’s like being naked in public. I MUCH prefer mood lighting, but then again, I’m much more visually sensitive than touch and sound

Sorry. Thinking about Vader killing Ahsoka again. The thematic beauty of him killing his wife, his student, and his old master. Yeah

There's a lot of dislike for Solas outside of the tumblr and twitter pockets, don't get me wrong, but Solas is very mean, flawed, weird; I want fans to dig into those aspects of him and share their visions 😭

He has problems, big problems, many of them self-inflicted, I cannot get enough of it, as someone wasting her beautiful Sunday writing Zathrian x Solas

[oingus-boingus]

And so often this seems to narrow down to being cherry-picked reading of his character; largely for purposes of claims of exclusivity/gatekeeping. These sorts of users seem desperate to absolve when it would be more appropriate to acknowledge, admonish, and assist (if your patience allows; the dude is and should be regarded as " on thin fuckin' ice"), lest you entirely disappoint him. The same sort of users who do this - these users who often show off OC art/commissions of their Lavellan being the only one who understands Solas as they sit there in snide little comics together - lose the plot entirely.

Newsflash asshole, you're too deep into being the Special One. You've transfigured his character entirely, and he would find you boring! A supreme let-down that perpetuates the same complacency and ill treatment he chastises of others, and an un-intriguing challenge to the harshness he has for himself and others.

You saw his defense mechanisms and thought "oh neat, what an honest presentation that isn't a front at all, he's just mad depressed so he's allowed to be racist and I won't acknowledge that when called out other than to conflate crticism of fascism with criticism of race, and I vibe with that and recognize it in myself".

I'm assuming this is all referring to @arlathvhenan and their recent obsessive-but-regrettably-bankrupt takes, though correct me if I'm wrong and this rant is off-target lol

[bunabi]

Uh no I don't think so... The people who post cutesy and romantic content aren't showing off or in some kind of clique: they're just having fun. It's really not about one 'type' of Solavellan versus another. It's about insecurity. 😭

Feeling personally attacked by criticism, holding onto this 'us versus them' way of thinking, conflating feeling threatened with being threatened. Trying to keep fandom safe from negativity by engaging in the exact same behaviors they fled from on other sites. There are fans like this everywhere. Attached, defensive, lost in the sauce.

If someone's opinion of a character has harmful implications and real life impact that's one thing. I'll go up for Vivienne when fans mischaracterize her or make racist commentary. But as far as disliking or criticizing her actions? That's a discussion of the material and fair game. I think we lost that point along the line somewhere.

[oingus-boingus]

I envy your patience and am honestly ashamed to be so grouchy and judgemental in comparison... With some time since their posting, it's easier to step back and realize there's not necessarily malice behind it and they're also trying to enjoy themselves in fandom space; their being judgemental in how a character should be regarded and spoken of shouldn't inspire the same sort of behaviour from me out of ironic bitterness or pride. Thank you for your response, I'm happy to grow from it and also learn more about the nuance of this fandom in general.

Related to some of your topics, I'll admit the user I was referring to is harder to be kind towards when they're also skirting some lines by making sweeping generalizations about the Qun (and communism versus authoritarianism in general) as well as boiling their defense of Solas' racism down to some simplistic and worrisome essentials that suggest "Solas can't be racist because elves can't be racist because they're oppressed!" which still isn't a a reason to excuse or hand-wave away accusations of racism. Oppressed people can be racist, often in the most bafflingly tragic and confusing ways, and I'll admit I let that frustration affect my tone but never even mentioned it, which isn't a good look.

Again, I don't think they're being malicious, but their regard for and commentary on these subjects neglects acknowledgement that these games and their themes are often heavily based on real ideals, ideas, and social systems (and the games themselves try to educate you/steer you away from nuance-less judgement), and I worry about their generalizations.

[bunabi]

Nah you're right that they were out of line. Sorry, I didn't mean to gloss over what they said. It's just exhausting. 🙇🏿‍♀️

the worst part about the whole “tumblr users don’t listen to rap” thing is that within a month a bunch of these people are going to get a massive ego for having developed the same taste in rap as my middle aged white Catholic mother

everyone headcanons Obi-wan to be such a healthy fussy eater and like. listen. no. the mcdonald workers know this mans order by heart. he loves shitty beer and fries dipped in a milkshake. he will force push spinach away on sight. how he eats like that and still maintains abs is beyond everyone

[gffa]

#don't get me wrong I LOVE civilized Master Kenobi who can eat with 14 different utensils#knows the difference between 743 different wine glasses and when to use them#but also#that man managed to fool bounty hunters into thinking he was one of them for weeks#one of his best friends owns a greasy burger joint#he got wasted at hondo's party#AotC Knight Kenobi *obviously* eats junk food (via @smhalltheurlsaretaken​) Yes!  Does Obi-Wan know vegetables are good for you?  Of course.  Will he eat them?  Yes, especially if they’re well-prepared, they’re not bad at all.  This is a Jedi Master who is trained in negotiation, he can absolutely eat some raw spinach if it means getting a better treaty.  He has been trained to know which fork is used with the specific dessert.  But his preference is total junk food.  Nothing is ever more satisfying that Dex’s burger and fries.  Will he drink and enjoy tea?  Absolutely, he loves the stuff.  But he also drinks caf and it is total sludge from all the crap he puts into it.  This is the man who can probably out-drink almost any other Jedi (he has yet to get on Master Yoda’s level, though) and will enjoy space moonshine that would strip the paint off anyone else’s speeder and go back for more, not even bothered by it. Obi-Wan Kenobi is familiar with the finer and more elegant things in life, can find genuine enjoyment in them.  But you leave that man to his own devices and he’ll eat twenty Space Taco Bell meals in a row.
